COMBINED CARPENTERS BENCH AND VISE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 710,713, dated October 7, 1902.

Application filed April 14; 1902 Serial No. 102,735. (No model.)

To all rah/0722, it pray concern:

Be it known that I, GEORGE W. RAYNOR, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Williamson School, in the county of Delaware and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in a Combined Oarpenters Bench and Vise, of which the following is a true and exact description, reference being bad to the accompanying drawings, which form a part thereof.

My invention has relation to carpenters benches, and has for its object to provide such a bench with a vise, such as is ordinarily used by carpenters, which can be shifted from an operative position to a position beneath the bench entirely out of the way of the user; and my invention consists, broadly speaking, in the combination, with a carpenters bench, of a vise and means for supporting such a vise upon the bench either in operative'position or in a position beneath the bench.

The nature of my invention and what I believe to be the best way of carrying it into practical effect will be best understood as described in connection with the drawings, in"

.which it is illustrated, and in which Figure 1 is a side elevation of the end of the bench upon which the vise is secured, the vise being shown in operative position. Fig. 2 is a similar view with the vise in non-operative and retracted position. Fig. 3 is. a horizontal section on the line 3 3 of Fig. 1, and Fig. i a horizontal section on the line 4 e of Fig. 1. v

A A, &c.,indicate the legs of the bench; 'B and 13, the upper and lower cross-timbers; B B outwardly-extending timbers secured to the legs and supporting apron-pieces C C, the inner portions 0 of which are hinged to the stationary portions at O and shaped so that they can be folded back at right angles, the ends of the timbers 13 being cut away, as shown at b for this purpose.

D is the top or table of the bench.

E and E are brackets firmly secured to the legs of the bench. They are formed with retaining and supporting notches, as indicated at h and E the notches E being both farther forward and at a higher level than the notches E and the two notches in each bracket being connected by a guiding slot or groove, (indicated at F E The vise is of usual construction, consisting of two stout timbers F and H, the upper .ends F- and H constituting the jaws of the vise and the two timbers being pivotally connected together at or near the bottom. The pivotal connection shown is provided for by securing to the inner vise-timber F pins, (inl dicated at F which pins are adapted to engage in the notches l of a barl, pivoted at H to a casting H secured on the upper visetimber H. This enables the two timbers to be moved at the bottom to accommodate the size of the work which the jaws have to engage.

J is the vise-screw, turned by a lever J and secured to the outer vise-timber H through a casting H the screw passing through a nut G, secured in the inner timber F. In all of these features the vise is of usual and ordinary construction.

To the inner timber F of the vise I secure brackets, (shown at F F,) these brackets supportingat' their'ends rods or pins F F,

which project into the slots of the brackets E E and are adapted to lie and be engaged by the notches E and E, as shown. In operative position the'brackets connected with the vise are supported in the upper notches E of the bench-brackets, as shown in Fig. 1, and when the vise is 'no longer required for use the operative simply lifts it slightly and draws it forward through the groove F, then permits it to move downward through the grooves E and thrusts it backward through the grooves E until the pins F F engage in the notches E as shown in Fig. 2. In this way the vise is entirely retracted beneath the table of the bench out of sight and out of the way, but in position to be at once restored to operative position by simply reversing the above-described movements. I

Having now described" my invention, What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. In combination with a carpenters workbench, at vise and means for supporting said vise on the bench either in operative position or in depressed and retracted position under the table of the bench.

2. In combination with a carpenters workbench, a vise, means for supporting said vise on the bench either in operative position or in depressed and retracted position under the table of the bench, and guides regulating the movements of the vise from and to operative position.

3. In combination with a carpenters workbench, brackets E E secured beneath the bench and formed with supporting-recesses E E connected by slots, a vise and brackets F 5 secured to the vise and resting in brackets E E as described whereby the vise can be shifted from operative position to a position a notched bar I pivoted to the lower end of beam H, a pin or detent in bar F adapted to be engaged by the notches in bar I and a screw J connected with the upper portions of the jaw-beams whereby they are drawn together.

6. In combination with a carpenters Workbench, a vise consisting of two bars F and H,

a notched bar I pivoted to the lower end of 3'0 beam H, a pin or detent in bar F adapted to be engaged by the notches in bar I and a screw J connected With the upper portions of the jaw-beams whereby they are drawn together and means for supporting the vise on the bench either in operative position or in retracted position.
